Introduction

US Nursing: Tampa

Nurses will find Tampa to have a gentle and relaxed ambience. It’s character is far removed from its neighbour on the East Coast. Nonetheless the Spanish culture infuses the city in the same way as in Miami but here it seems to have a more domestic feel.

In the recent past downtown has benefited from an overhaul and is dotted with attractive park and ancillary urban areas, most notably the Tampa Riverwalk.

Nurses and their families will find an abundance of leisure pursuits in the city. Examples include canoeing the Hillsborough River, watching a pro football or hockey, visiting an amusement park or going to the opera. There is little doubt that Tampa’s urban sprawl possesses a refreshing example of living on the Florida coast. Also the city centre is only 45 minutes drive from the exotic and well manicured beaches.
